What is that, a back massager?

Can you please elaborate on the advantages of having a cordless tool that still needs to be hooked up to a vacuum?
As much as I like cordless tools, in this particular case it would only make the tool heavier, and less user-friendly - even if a method could be devised to switch on the vacuum without current draw from the tool.
That in itself wouldn't be much of a challenge, but it would complicate the vac and the tool, probably the hose as well.

Lee Nielsen makes very nice cordless planers, btw.

I have edited the picture! happy now?!?!   Im not going to put the dust bag on     If you want the dust bag on when you buy the tool you can put it on!  As festool don't sell the dust bag with the festool planer any way so they wont with the cordless! Its an accessory! Thats my reason!!!

I find with the dust bag which what I got with the EHL 65 on the left side only having it on the right side its useless. Is good enough as I create mess using my chisel for the lock and hinges and having a dust sheet down I simply fold it up and done I can leave the job!  I prefer using Packexe though if I know ill being doing jobs around the house for a week.  Like I have been doing on the last two jobs.  

Also not always about dust! I was working for this firm had 7 houses built and I Was working from house to house but in random order and different things so other trades could carry on.  Now I got my self a wheel barrel and but all my tools in that but it took two trips as I had leads and transformer. Not all building had power so I had to go to the nearest house!  

Some of the houses were done more than others  so when I done some of the jobs for the other trade on the other houses I had to go to the others which had been carpeted and the doors where a bit tight on the carpet so I had to take a bit off! I hate using hand plane with end grain so a cordless planer is nicer to remove the bottom of the door plus its much easier.

I had a long wheel Lead, T15 drill, fold able trestles, Transformer. Now I dont know about you but you cant carry that all in one go!   Well if I had the Corddles Planer all I would need is Two systainers attached together in one had. One would have the T15 and the other cordless planer. In my other hand I would be carrying the fold able trestles.  I dont see how you dont see it makes your life so much easier!   With Lie-Nielsen you would have to sharpen them and it awkward to do the bottoms of doors especially with end grain and you got large shaving to pic up! The cordless plane willjust be small bits as the bag takes to big bits so the wind can take the small bits!! Its easier to hand plane the side of doors I know but not bottom.

Ik ben blij dat je me halen! Maar! Handplane zal een tijdje duren als u was het verwijderen van 6mm denk je niet? Ik weet het niet omdat ik hou van elektrisch gereedschap

lol yeah but  then you might aswell use a corded planer?!?!? or a TS55 like you said but then thats more stuff cus you have to carry a guide rail aswell!     My ambition its to carry as less stuff as possible on some types of jobs where dust extraction is not necessary.

I have cordless Circular saw, Cordless DRILLs, Cordless Jigsaws, Cordless angle grinder, Cordless hacksaw, Cordless Nail guns, Cordless auto Screw gun, cordless Radio see where im going?!?!?!?! lol

All I need now Is Cordless Circular Guide rail saw (im not buying the Dewalt cordless guide rail saw) and Cordless Planer

       I never use a planer for trimming doors since getting the ts55.Even a cordless planer wouldn't tempt me to go back to planing.I mean one cut and it's done,no dust,perfect.A planer?!?!

surprised with you buying track record that you dont have a flooring guillotine

never used 1 but see some that cut 22mm hardwood

What they said:

1: "Lunchbox" 13inch Thinknesser/Planer
2: Benchtop Bandsaw
3: Front Drawer Systainers

Plus one I didn't see:

A Low Flow / High Volume dust extractor with 4" connection & HEPA filter for use with the Planer above.

It must be!

Years ago a company. I think called Woodcraft, made an aluminium jig that was clamped to the timber by G clamps and you put a combined cutter and guide into a drill chuck and away you went.

Man it was crap and the tearout was so bad as to be artistic. Haven't seen one in years!

Having said that any such machine is surely already in Festools range, the OF1400 and the dovetail jig the VS600.

So I would not imagine they would see the commercial value of another type of router.


 

Do you mean kinda like an MFT/3 ?

Woodguy

The ability to attach the MFK 700 on the LR 32 Hole Drilling System plate. The plate works with the OF 1010 and the OF 1400 why not the MKF 700?

Greg,

I'm not sure of the benefit of combining the lr 32 and 700.   Both the 1010 and 1400 plunge, which is necessary to use with the 32, but the 700 doesn't.  What would be the application for the addition of the 700 to the system?

Dan

The slotted screws are use for a reason.  Festool does not want you to over tighten the screws and put a dimple in your rail. Look at the MFT/3 connectors they use an allen screws.  So Festool does know the difference.
